"The Delight in a Passing Fancy"

"The Pursuit of a Passing Fancy" seems a suitably pretentious title for another CD.  There is no way to catch a note to put it in a jar so any note is, by its nature, a Passing Fancy.  The 'Pursuit' aspect is questionable as we've already gone In Search of a Lost Chord and that was something else.

The tentative song list:

  1. Wind on the Waves for Cat - includes another guitar line over the base song which adds a special touch
  2. Endless Fire - Echo guitar and a looper with no other instruments except my deathless vocal
  3. The Tiger and the Monkey - A most unusual friendship
  4. The Girl Who Would Be Lavender - About Boudika when the Romans came and started the troubles.
  5. There's Something About Marigolds - Instrumental
  6. Celebration of Circe Broom - Played only once at the wake for Circe
  7. For Shan Chard - Played only once for Shan Chard
  8. Ride the Dragon - Live - High-impact and the rhythm guitar snarls

"Ride the Dragon" is deliciously brutal, not in concept but in play.  It has a rhythmic hook that will drag you in or push you away but you won't be able to ignore it.

"Wind on the Waves" is intricate and delicate so this makes the same structural progression as "Pigment of My Fascination" in starting out soft and building to the big bang at the end.


Already it changes to "The Delight in a Passing Fancy" and that's still precious but it's coming in on what I want.  It should be enigmatic as you can't catch a Passing Fancy.  If you can catch it then it's not really a Passing Fancy.

"The Call of a Passing Fancy" ... maybe.

Whether it's worth $80 to release it is another question but plenty of time to think about that.
